The Sudanese Armed Forces and the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Sunday both confirmed the extension of a three-day truce for 72 hours. The army said the extension came due to US and Saudi mediation.
The previous ceasefire - which was widely breached by both sides - was scheduled to expire at midnight on Sunday just over two weeks after clashes broke out between supporters of army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his ex-deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the RSF.
